USAGE

A diet combining quality proteins, with energy-providing raw materials, all chosen specifically for their high digestibility and palatability.  This ration includes the highly regarded Charnwood Vitamin, Mineral & Trace Element Supplement to keep all animals in top health.

All of the cereals included have been Micronized (cooked), and the mix contains a good quantity of quality fibre, ideal for those horses which have difficulty in eating forage.

FEEDING SUGGESTIONS

Feed around 2 - 4 kilos per day, with good quality hay, depending on size and amount of work performed.

Exact feeding recommendations are difficult to stipulate, as individual Horse’s requirements differ widely.   Equines should not be allowed to become over-fat, and the Owner’s eye should be the best judge of balance.

Always make sure that your horse has access to a plentiful supply of clean, fresh water.
